 The meeting resolved to found a national organisation of trade unions, the United Kingdom Alliance of Organised Trades.Most of its Executive Council came from the Sheffield area, and its executive was the same as that of the Sheffield Association.A series of violent attacks on non-trade unionists by a small minority of unionist, the "Sheffield Outrages", ran through 1866, so in November, the trades council joined with the London Trades Council to call for a government enquiry.
